Sally Field Says This TV Show Made Her Unemployable — Until Jack Nicholson Stepped In

Sally Field opened up about being unemployable after starring in a ’60s TV show with a wild plot — but thanks to Jack Nicholson, a drought in her acting career ended.

During an interview with People published on May 9, Field, 79, spoke about the difficulty she faced following the fantasy sitcom The Flying Nun. The show starred Field as Sister Bertrille, a petite nun who could fly with the help of strong winds catching her wing-like religious headwear.
